Roy Keane finally has his say on Declan Rice and Jack Grealish not playing for Ireland

Roy Keane took a cheeky dig at Declan Rice and Jack Grealish on ITV's World Cup coverage.

Rice played three times for Ireland, all in friendlies while Grealish represented Ireland underage.

Both would end up switching allegiance to their country of birth and it was under Keane and Martin O'Neill's coaching staff that Rice both played for and quit on Ireland.

Appearing on ITV, the panel did a deep dive on German midfielder Musiala who was eligible to play for England having played underage for the three Lions before opting to represent Germany.

And Keane could not resist taking a dig at Grealish and Rice.

He said: "It's nice to see that England have been given a taste of their own medicine. Rice, Grealish, don't get me started on that!"

"But obviously, it's not easy, when a player makes that decision, you have to respect it."
